Log-Sobolev Inequalities for Matrix-Valued Functions

Hausdorff Center for Mathematics via YouTube

Overview

Explore a 58-minute mathematics lecture that delves into Log-Sobolev inequalities (LSIs) for matrix-valued functions and their applications across probability theory, statistical mechanics, and information theory. Learn about the significant dichotomy between standard $L_2$-LSI and modified log-Sobolev inequality, where the former fails in matrix-valued settings while the $L_1$ variant maintains validity for matrix-valued functions in numerous important examples. Discover the implications of these findings, particularly in relation to Gaussian-type concentration inequalities for random matrices and quantum Markov semigroups.
